Chapter 225 - We Have Messed It Up



Abigail pov contd.

"Can you play a symphony by seeing its keynotes?" she nodded her head in confusion and I sighed.

"Come with me, we have a show to perform." She looked at me with widened eyes but I held her hand and started dragging her down there.

"Wait, are you serious? You want me to perform in front of so many people and also for a new song. I can not do that. What if I missed a beat or turned blank looking at their faces. I have never performed in front of more than 4-5 persons whom I personally know."

"It is not as big a deal as you think it is. All you need to do is to concentrate on singing and playing the piano. If you are afraid of people you do not need to look at them." though i tried to convince her she did not react. As if frozen, she continued to stand there like a statue.

"Bella, it is all our hard work. The musicians can not come and if the song would not be played the show could not be performed. Do you want to let go of everything just like that?" She bit her lips as I asked.

I knew that I was pressuring her but there was no choice. It had to be her, or the show might ruin.

"Bella, I will play with you too. But you have to lead me." I added and she finally blinked.

"Oh my god. Oh my god Abi! How will I do this." she replied panicking as she fidgeted with her dress.

But I took a breath of relief. At least, she was ready to do it! 

"We will do it together, Bella. I know that you are a wonderful player." if it would not have been because of me. You would have become a genius in past life too. Now that fate has given me the chance. We could not let it go.

It took a lot of persuasion but she finally agreed and we walked towards the stage. They all were looking at Bella nervously which made her feet colder and she gulped.

"I am with you in this. Do not worry." I rubbed her back and she nodded absentmindedly.

We both walked towards the piano. 

"Are you sure you can play with me?" Her doubts were reasonable as I have never played piano in this life but back then when I was engaged to Gerard, I learnt piano to please him and I have often played it for him. He loved the tune of piano a lot at that time or was it a lie too.

"Abi, if you can not do it then it is fine. I understand. I will try to do it by myself." she must have been worried looking at my color drained face! 

If only I could tell her!

"I can Bella, do not worry. Let us take our places now. Oliver sits with Bella and tries to mimic her actions but does not press any key. It should look like you both are playing the duet together. And you…" I pointed at the girl standing there randomly, "Come and sit beside me and pretend to play with me." she bit her lips but nodded and sat beside me.

"Are you sure?" asked Amyra as she looked at us nervously. For her we were pampered young daughters of the duchy.

"If you have any other plans then tell or else go and start the show rather than making us nervous." I said in a sharp tone this time. I could see how worried Bella was and her continued asking the same words were making Bella shivering.

She gave us one last look and left. After a while I heard her announcong about the show on the stage. My hands were turning sweaty too.

Sharron walked towards us and patted Bella\'s back. 

"Start playing the song together when I signal you. Make sure not only the proper song is important. Both of your coordination matters too." I nodded and so did Bella as she looked at me.

"Everything would be more than perfect. This is our first success, Bella." I told the girl and she finally smiled but her smile was worse than crying and I sighed. I think I was pressuring the young girl way too much.

"Are you both ready? On the count of one.. Three, two, one.."

Our hands touched the piano as if I went back in the past, the music flew to my ears and the song started playing in the air. She smiled as we maintained good coordination.

The show started and the models and dancers started walking on the stage showing their perfect smiles and figures. Though it was not like the modern show, it was so much better as they had elegance. They walked off the stage and took a walk among the nobles sitting in the hall so that they could see the dresses and jewels closely. 

After a while they walked back on stage and bowed their heads as the song ended.

In a minute we both played another song. And this time instead of walking, they started dancing. Showing the smooth flow of their steps and the jewels dazzled with their every move. Their dresses were flowing in the air as if made of liquid. 

The dance continued and the crowd sat there holding their breaths. Bella continued to look at me as i signal her every time I change the beat of the song. And when the song ended, we both stood up and walked towards the stage.

There was so much silence that Bella held my arms tightly. She was looking too afraid. For a minute or two they looked at us too, as we were sitting on the corner of the stage. Though we were not the centre of attraction, I was sure her mother had noticed us.

"I think they did not like the show, Abi.. We have messed up everything this time.
